Storage live migration

For vCenter hosts, Abiquo detects storage vMotion on all datastores

...

Host configuration

This section describes configuration of ESXi hosts.

VMware clusters as hosts

You can add VMware vCenter clusters directly, so Abiquo will use vCenter clusters instead of individual vCenter servers. When you create a physical machine/hypervisor host in Abiquo for a cluster, select VMware vCenter cluster.

...

Note

Even in a test system, do not add the same VMware servers in more than one mode (for example, do not add a vCenter server, and then add the same server in a vCenter cluster)
